every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

This is interesting drama to follow lol TLDR, the people who made the AI coke commercial are denying it and generating fake concept art, actual concept artists are ripping it all apart as fake because the guy has no idea how any of this works

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

seems like a necessary post

is that a lot

please dispel the idea that when you get a "serious" diagnosis like bipolar or schizophrenia that people are lining up to give you care and resources. most mental health pros won't even see us. there's nothing out there for ANYONE and if you think the most marginalized have it better...? sorry. no

no question that this guy's a portlander

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Finally a big city mayor raised on “YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”

Let's make AI jealous. Write what Al can't touch. Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies. Try moving your hands. It's fine if your mind remains a jumble. Ideas scattered across the paper. Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

🎶 DOOM BAD 🎶

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

this is absolutely true and this should not strike fear, it should strike righteous fucking fury in you, are you going to let them break you, or are you going to make them break upon us?

[in a way I haven't truly meant it all year] nice

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.

Captain Torture

I can’t emphasize enough right now that the millionaires tax in Massachusetts has allowed public schools to provide free lunch and breakfast for all students. We can take their money and do good things with it!

New awareness campaign

I can't stop cackling at the expressions of Mary and Joseph in this teeny nativity Christmas ornament. Joseph: Well, shit.

rip in advance to Scott "Mr Dilbert" Adams who is perhaps most famous for writing a now-deleted four part blog post where he attempted to hypnotize his readers into nutting and asked them to email him after they have nutted to tell him about the nut. www.tumblr.com/manlethotlin...

i know what he’s talking about

Should you run The Between with your RPG group? In short: yes. In (really quite) long:

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Low Poly Cloud for Halloween.

what is the exact mechanism that causes the dumbest people humanity has to offer to be the ones to run the important stuff. has anyone written a book about this. genuinely, what the hell. I don't think the Peter Principle is capable of accounting for this sort of inability to parse basic english!

Happy Halloween 👻👻👻 #kidlitart
